they also have (current) photos of the same little actress who played Toby's adorable daughter in Season 2 on his cubicle walls.

I was so happy that, being over in Denmark, I had no idea Carrell wasn't serious about not appearing. Great surprise. I squealed like something you'd find on Schrute Farm.
